Where can I download this? I know that it's illegal for them to charge for it and that a bunch of websites host it. Where? I'm looking for the latest release (I believe they have a new kind that's recently come out).

thanks for the sacrastic reply but i've obviously tried that.

All i know is that near the end of last year (oct/nov) i kept hearing about the new version of sveasoft firmware that was nearing completion.

That's what i was looking for. The only posts that come up by searching are concerning the old version.

I never recommend the wrt54 because of this ?Hack? business.

Every time that the ?Hacking? comes up it is the same story.

Few people would claim that they hacked their WRT54 and it is the best thing in the world.

But you can never get links and solid instructions.

I guess that the real success comes with paying the ?French? aka sveasoft their fee for the ?Freely? released open source fireware.

BTW. For the same (or lees) money you can get a Buffalo Tech. Wireless Router. It is a better unit then the wrt54 and it is WDS, so it can do 90% of the ?Hack? can do.

here is the trick. the firmware works up to the version 2.0 wrt54g. I hope I can come up with two free ( as in not already really busy ) version 1, 1.1 or 2.0 units. the new version is 2.2, and i won't buy the firmware for that. The old firmware is still free.

Starts logging into remote units...............:D

The newest firmware for the Version 2.2 WRT54G and Version 1.0 WRT54GS from what I can see is only available if you purchase the yearly subscription through sveasoft (which I did). Once you download it, it's very easy to install. From what I can see, the perks of this over the stock firmware is that you can increase the transmit power, you can add VLAN's, change things via a command prompt, add a PPTP VPN server and staticly assign IP addresses via DHCP. Currently I have mine configured with a VLAN that separates my WLAN traffic and WLAN can only access the network if they VPN into the server. Kind of neat to play around with actually.
